I had never expected to run across the words, “ball waxing,” in a National Review article: Canada’s Ball-Waxing Horror Show. No, this isn’t about juicing the ball in a bowling tournament. I’m pretty sure that waxing your ball there is completely legal and requires no coercion of others. Not so in the case of the Canadian kangaroo courts which have made a mockery of “civil rights.” In essence, we (mostly women, but some men as well) have given power to the freaks and misfits to bully us. And they seem to love to do so. And it’s hard not to blame them for trying when we so readily accept their nonsense. I must admit that I’m of two testicles — sorry, minds — on this. First, we shouldn’t acquiesce to the bullies no matter what baloney reasons they give for doing so. Second, maybe we should just stand back and let the rotten fruits of this bad idea play out (that society must always cater to the most freakish instincts that people have). I do not believe that the latter will lead to a tipping point. Dispossess yourself of that naive notion. The freak-show will continue to go balls-to-the-wall in their recreational bullying of others for ideological (and, I’d say) purely recreational reasons. And most people (largely women, and beta-males….which most seem to be these days) act like the person who wants to be the last eaten by the alligator. That is, these things are always somebody else’s problem. Note that yet another mediocre quasi-conservative writer in the mainstream press has little to say and offers no context. Could it be that this man pretending to be a woman is given great accolades and treated like a hero for his bullying of others dressed up as a civil rights movement? You can almost assure yourself this is the case amongst some groups. But where is the journalism to probe into this beyond being able to write a provocative headline?

Well, now at least I know what's going on. I vaguely heard of it yesterday. I still don't know (and probably don't want to) what waxing the scrotum involves, and what sort of female beauty treatment he is trying to pretend to get as he demands ball-waxing. (If there is no such procedure, they could just charge whatever it takes to make him decide against it.)
But, ultimately, this is just the story of a pervert using the law as a weapon against women. If he did it here in America, there are many places where this would also work -- and the party that claims to defend the rights of women would be on his side. It would be nice to see this scam pulled off in Los Angeles, Babylon on the Bay, Portland, or (sorry, Brad) Seattle just to remind women of the implications of libertinism.

Laughing my ass off. Well, when you say it like that, it all just sounds rather silly. They try to find some clever ways to not make it sound silly, but they never ring true to my ear. Wax on. Wax off.

I can't help but laugh at what happens to the Antifa idiot. As they say, actions have consequences and he received the appropriate consequence for his illegal and anti-social actions.

The comments section of that article is hilarious. Many think he should have gotten in a few more whacks. But I think the number of whacks was about sufficient.

I think the Antifa idiot should see this as a learning experience. Through it, his life has been enriched and his vistas broadened.

One wonders if they will learn anything. One also wonders how these aimless punks ever got into this. Did they even have parents? Are these all Dickensian orphans running around in packs? Or is the very problem is that they had Nancy-Pelosi-like parents for whom this kind of "civil protest" is considered high and mighty? Sorry to sound like Princess Bravo with so many questions. But I think my questions are better. Given that many local governments are catering to these thugs, I wouldn’t call it vigilanteism for this guy to do what he did. Nor would I call it vigilanteism if groups of normal citizens begin to confront these fascists and even rough them up a little. If governments will not perform their function to keep public order, then it is up to the citizens.

I would agree that this isn't vigilantism, though the motives are very similar. Vigilantism isn't self-defense, which in essence is what the driver did. Vigilantism involves unofficial groups hunting down criminals, not resisting criminal attacks directly. In a sense Jonathan Wild (the leading thief-catcher of the early 18th Century in London, when there was no organized police force) was a vigilante. (He was also the leading thief of his day, who kept a list of criminals with a cross entered whenever one acted against him. A double cross -- the origin of the term -- made the criminal an enemy. You can guess which thieves he took.)
Note that the driver pushes the car forward, but not so fast that he will actually run the thug over. Then, if the thug had simply left him alone, that would no doubt have ended the incident. When the thug tried to do something more (probably vandalizing the car), he came out and taught him a badly needed lesson.
Incidentally, this sort of protest is nothing new. They were doing it in the 60s, too, and George Wallace said that if anyone tried blocking his car, it would be the last car he tried to block. (In reality, when this actually happened during his 1964 protest campaign against the Civil Rights Act -- he got 34% of the Democrat vote in Wisconsin, 30% in Indiana, and 43% in Maryland -- and Wallace's driver wanted to run over the protestor, the candidate told him not to, presumably because he knew how it would look.)

I wouldn’t have minded it a bit if he had recreated this scene from the Blues Brothers:

I thought this was a good article by Ann Coulter about the widespread anti-white racism.

Ann Coulter Ann is often a real fire brand and there are a number of issues I differ with her on. However, to the this and the other thread on NR together I recall the brew ha ha when Ann was fired from NR. That was what? 15 years ago? I thought at the time censoring her by terminating her employment was a mistake. It was, I thought enough reason to terminate my subscription to NR which I did. Being afraid to listen to voices within our own group is the first step to becoming everything we abhor.

I terminated mine around the same time. It must have been in 2008 as I can recall a front page photo of the Obamanation.
After that, I would sometimes read NRO, but when they fired Mark Steyn I stopped reading it altogether. The only time I come across it is when one of the news amalgamaters Brad links to it.

LOL. That made my day.
And that's enough to make my day for tomorrow as well.
Remember the Alamo and all that. Yes, we should never forget.
A nice "sweet revenge" article for Robinson. It's possible she may have been ahead of us in rooting out Jonah Goldberg and his ilk. Maybe.
I have no doubt that the craving for self-importance was behind their intellectual dishonesty. It was more than that. But that is a big part of it.
A turn of phrase worthy of Coulter. But I think the soldier in question was in the Philippines. Or maybe there was more than one.
The whole NRO cruise-ship thing was such bad optics...if they were conservatives. But it fit them for who they really are.

Unless she was going after him before the start of StubbornThings, we had her beat. We started going after Goldberg and his ilk from, almost, the beginning of ST. Gold star for you that you noticed that too. It was the Philippines. I don't recall ever hearing of one on Guam, but I may check to see. P.S. I checked and there was also a soldier holding out in Guam. Marine, you die tonight

Offhand, I didn't thing Guam was large enough for that many soldiers to hide for that many years. 210 square miles. I guess it is.
That's some serious drinking of the kook-aid. I wonder if there was more going on there than just misplaced loyalty.
Well, you could certainly give this guy an award for futility. Think about it. Living a rough, barely-subsistence lifestyle for 23 years, apparently driven by the desire to never surrender. We could use a few like him in the GOP.
And if they hadn't found this guy's commanding officer? Yikes. But it shows you the power of programming.

Perhaps, but such fanaticism was part of pre-war Japanese upbringing. Loyalty to the Emperor and Dai Nippon was hammered into the Japanese from birth. Even today, the culture generally promotes "the group" and the uniqueness of Japan. The Samurai tradition promoted the ability to suffer, devotion to one's leader and the attitude that dying for one's duty is noble and nothing to regret. And everyone wanted to be a Samurai in Japan even though the actual number of Samurai was about 6% of the population. I guess it is sort of like how popular Cowboys used to be here, but much more intense.
In my experience, Asians will stick by their beliefs more tenaciously than Westerners. Perhaps we used to have strong beliefs about various subjects and defended these beliefs. Not so much today.
